1 RULES & PROCEDURES QUIZZES One way to review and reinforce rules and procedures with students at the beginning of the year is to give them a Rules and Procedures Quiz. Make it mandatory that everyone gets 100% on the quiz. Let students take it as many times as is necessary until they achieve this goal. Then file the quizzes away to be used as evidence, should you need it, that at one time they did in fact know what the rules were. See the three sample quizzes below to get ideas of how to create this type of quiz. Rules/Procedures/Syllabus Quiz: Sample 1 Directions: Please choose the best answer to the questions below.
